We use a calendar system in almost every aspect of our daily lives. We organize and manage social, personal and administrative commitments by days, weeks, months and years. We rely upon calendars on a daily basis to tell us where we need to be, what we need to do and when we need to do it. We also refer to calendars to notify us to complete maintenance and preventative items, such as paying bills and attending doctor appointments. This system carries directly over to our professional paralegal career as well.

Expert witnesses may be a necessary and decisive factor on a growing number of subjects in cases. Traditionally, a paralegal often serves as a liaison between an attorney and expert in arranging evaluations, coordinating review of documents and scheduling expert testimony.
